Add a scale bar or north arrow
Place drawing annotations for scale and the project’s site-north direction.
Both tools are in Add Objects → Draw Shapes → Annotations. They are independent objects: placing a north arrow does not establish a surveyed bearing, and a scale bar does not replace checking the output scale.
Set the scale bar
Choose Scale Bar. Enter Position, Bar Length and Segments, or place it with the canvas prompt. The segment count accepts 1–20. Labels use the project’s measurement format.
Place and style the bar
Place it on the canvas or use the guide’s Apply action for entered values. Select it to change supported Inspector options such as text visibility, bar style, label size and label position. Check readability at the intended output size.
Place a north arrow
Choose North Arrow and place its position on the canvas or through Apply. The arrow follows the project’s site-north setting; it does not have an independent editable north angle in the object’s Inspector.
Check the shared north direction
Set the project’s Site north in Settings → Site & location. The selected arrow’s North Angle is a readout of that shared setting. Arrow Style can be Simple, Compass or Ornate. Moving the arrow object changes its placement, not the project bearing.
